I’m pushing thirty {which seems unreal!!} but I can still remember in Elementary school watching daytime TV talk show makeovers with my grandmother. Oprah and Sally Jessy Raphael in the afternoons, and Regis and Kathie Lee in the mornings {during the summer of course}.
Believe it or not I can still remember some of the timeless advice they gave. Some included:
- – Apply lotion on your feet, hands, knees, and elbows every night because those are the driest parts of your body.
- – To keep your manicure going strong and staying shiny add a thin layer of topcoat every day.
- – To fight puffiness and dark circles apply cut potato slices to your eyes while you lay down and rest for ten minutes.
- – Use proper posture to appear confident and always cross your legs in the direction of the person you’re speaking with to show you’re interested.
I’ve always been interested in beauty. Outward beauty and inward beauty. Beauty in nature and beauty in friendship. In case you haven’t noticed, this entire blog is all about beauty and embracing it. You can check out my about page to read more about my love of beauty. Sufficient to say, I think it’s a marvelous thing.
Regency Beauty Institute and Refinery29 have teamed up for the #ShareBeautyContest which runs through Aug. 13th. By trying a trend revealed by Regency and Refinery29 and snapping a photo for Instagram with the hashtag #ShareBeautyContest you will be entered to win. When the contest closes August 13th, one lucky participant will be chosen to win a customized VIP beauty treatment worth $2,000. How fun would that be!? I’d love to know if an Embracing Beauty reader wins so please come back and tell me if you do! Feel free to check out the contest’s landing page for more information. Good luck!!

I like that you encompassed beauty as a whole, and not just skin deep alone. That being said, a customized beauty treatment does sound really nice. 🙂
